Rain, rain go away!
I am tired of clouds and rain now. We've had more than enough rain, and it's slated to continue for the next several days. This weekend was cool and rainy, so we stayed in the house and got a lot of cleaning and reorganizing done.
Hallie came home yesterday from her spaying. She seems to feel great and has stopped the ungodly yowling. I'm sure it's a relief to ALL of us. Oliver managed to get his e-collar off last night. I felt really mean and horrible having to put it back on after he worked so hard to get it off. Only three more days until he gets his stitches out and the collar off.
Last Sunday, after Anthony's talk, Luciana went down to her craft area to create. Unbeknownst to us, she had found some fabric paint. She took a shirt down and painted her own anti-Petland/puppy mill shirt. She was so excited to wear it for the next protest (today). She debuted it last Sunday night, when we all went out for dinner. The group gave her lots of positive feedback for making it, and they said they wanted her to make shirts like that for them as soon as they got a plain shirt to give her. She came home so excited about it, that she couldn't wait for the rest of us to get shirts for her, so Mark gave her a pair of socks, which she decorated similarly. During the week, she made one more shirt for herself. She couldn't wait for the day of the protest, and counted down all week.
We weren't sure about the protest today initially, because it poured rain all morning, and our signs would be destroyed by the rain. We ended up going, and we're so glad we did. Luciana was happy to wear her shirt, and Mark wore his socks. We got a lot of positive response again, and even had someone stop and give us a generous donation. Someone also stopped to ask if there was a petition to sign to get the store closed--we wish! Anyway, the protest proved to be the high point of a quiet weekend.
The front of L's shirt says, "Stop puppy mill misery". The back says, "Boycott Petland" and, "Help me" (shows paws clawing at cage bars). What a girl!!
